Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints cashed the board's mistake on Higgins: B.

Somebody in No. 93 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Saints sat still while Jayden Higgins, the No. 73 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Tuimoloau reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at No. 9 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick40 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They jumped the gun on JT Tuimoloau, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in slot 71 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They will replay Jayden Higgins at pick 93 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
